115 originally although 15 have been cleared now
There are loopholes which will be exploited but only once - the PL are good at sorting them out once discovered
For example, when the scabby six tried to set up the super league the rules have never taken account of resigning from the UEFA competitions whilst remaining in the prem so they got creative and fined them £22m. Now if someone pulls that stunt again, it’s an automatic 30pt penalty
Fuck Everton. Hated them since Adrian Fucking Heath’s goal in the 84 semi at Highbury. Prefer seeing them lose to Pompey, as it happens, although it is close. Glad they got docked the points and hope they tailspin for the next few years.
Could not agree more. My Toffee mate is an entitled fuck who deseves a few years in the lower leagues to sort his perspective out.
Just heard Shearer on El Tel.
“He told me before the tournament that regardless of what happened in the league or in the friendlies beforehand, I was his main number 9 man for the World Cup. That’s the kind of manager he was, an absolute genius.”
FFS. No wonder the MLTs of this world never got a fucking sniff.
Venables quote on leaving out MLT from a squad, despite scoring for fun in the league:
“There is more to football than scoring goals”
Yeah but it is kind of helpful to your chances of winning FFS
Jude Bellingham keeps on scoring
Now scored the most goals ever in his first 15 Madrid appearances - beating Ronaldo and Di Stefano
That is some record
Wouldn’t get a game under Venables then?
I have read somewhere, may have been Le Tissier’s biography, that Venables got the hump with Tiss because after an England game the players were expected to go to Scribes but Tiss swerved it, saying he wanted to get back to Southampton to see his wife and kids. Venables decreed that Tiss “wasn’t a team player”, and ignored him after that. Wouldn’t surprise me, all England managers have their favourites, Venables more than most. Makes the man a cunt IMHO. All these gushing quotes today in the press, “Venables is the best England coach ever”, etc etc, is a load of fanny, this is all down to one game , against Holland which to be fair was a great result and the team played well, but that’s all it was, one game. He was corrupt as fuck too, both in football and his outside business dealings. He made Harry look like Mother Theresa.
awkward
And ramifications for other sports & celebs
This could run.

Not letting away fans in is very 3rd world
Tone of reporting here is that everyone is very pissed off with Legia.
Talking about ghem being kicked straight out Europa League plus a ban
My very first thought
I am mortally wounded.
Such conjecture, and in the season of goodwill.
au contraire
I am just glad it was not me
